Greetings Pilgrims!
Please read this very important message.
It has to do with where you may camp Tuesday night, and how to get to the rendezvous & step-off point Wednesday morning.
This year the Lake George Battleground Campground closed earlier than usual on account of construction.
That means pilgrims who elect to camp Tuesday night will have to do so at a NEW LOCATION: Hearthstone Point Campground, 3298 Lake Shore Drive, Lake George Vlg NY 12845.
<http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/24470.html> 518/668-5193
The NEW CAMPSITE is located on NY Rte 9N, three miles north of Wednesday morning’s rendezvous location, and just a half mile short of Cramer’s Point Motel.
Holy Mass will be celebrated as usual at 7:15 Wednesday under the monument to St. Isaac Jogues in the Lake George Battleground Park.
Rendezvous and final check-in will begin as always at 05:45 in the Million Dollar Beach (MDB) parking lot across the street from the monument.
But this year, campers will have to be shuttled there.
Beginning very early Wednesday morning organizers will shuttle pilgrims from Hearthstone Campground (and from Cramer’s Point Motel as usual) to the MDB parking lot to form up their brigades.
Because of all the early commotion, organizers urge you more strongly than ever to check-in early Tuesday at Hearthstone from 4:30 until 7:15pm or at Cramer’s Point Motel from 8:00pm till 10:30pm.
Further instructions will be given to you at check-in.
God grant you a blessed pilgrimage!
Greg Lloyd
Director of the Pilgrimage
